Profile:
One of the several Indian cricketers to have played just one Test,
Rakesh Shukla was a pillar of strength for Delhi for many years. He
had an excellent record in the Ranji Trophy where his all round skills
were seen to good effect. A pugnacious late order batsman and a leg
break-googly bowler, Shukla took 313 wickets (18.98) in the national
competition. With the bat his finest moment came in the 1981-82 final
against Karnataka when he and Rajesh Peter added 118 runs for the
unbroken ninth wicket to steer Delhi past the opponent's first innings
total of 705 for a memorable triumph. In the only Test he played
against Sri Lanka at Madras in 1982-83 (incidentally the first Test
between the two countries) Shukla did not get to bat but finished with
figures of no wicket for 70 and two for 82, the prized wickets of Roy
Dias and Duleep Mendis. But despite continuing to do well around the
domestic circuit he was not considered again. (Partab
